I’m using Thonny with convert.py to prep my images.  
I seem to always get a full width badger image (296 x 128 pixels)

With this line in the shell: , I get a full width badger image, even though my source image is 128 x 128 px  
%Run convert.py --resize --binary JTheadshot128x128BW\_2.png

When I remove the --resize, I’m still getting a full width badger image (same source image 128x128 px), AND the upper few rows (upper third) of the image is scrambled  
%Run convert.py --binary JTheadshot128x128BW\_2.png

Any tips? I’m new to this and I thought I was following the intro blog carefully.  
Thank you

That’s weird - can you send a screenshot/photo of the output you get from Thonny when you run `convert.py`?

Are you trying to prep an image to use with the badge example? If so you’ll want your image to be 104 in width and 128 in height.
